Making script to add check checkbox value list

Post

We have an ongoing mailing list at our organization of over 23,000. Which means we have that many records. We are trying to go paperless and sent out a postcard to promote our email marketing. I have created a value list checkbox of mail and do not mail. I would like to check all of my records as mail and then as people respond to take them off I can switch the checkbox to do not mail. I was wondering if someone knew how to write a simple script to check all the records with the "mail" because I do not want to manually have to check all of them on my own!

Make sure you are viewing all of the records you want checked. Click into the field and select the checkbox, while the field is still selected, go to the 'Records' menu and select 'Replace Field Contents'. A dialog box is presented which asks "Permanently replace the contents of the field xyz in the x number of records of the current set? To which you reply 'Replace'. Be careful as you are doing this on all of the records and if you accidentally replace something in the wrong field you will not be able to undo this.
